The Heavenly Blue Morning Glories are really blooming quite profusely these days. Today was the first day they opened fully all week though, as it has been raining and cloudy since Monday.
I love the Lemon Sunflowers next to this variety of blue Morning Glories. The colors are so pure and vibrant. But...
... they look fantastic by themselves next to the cedar posts of the vegetable garden. too. These are some of the vines that have outgrown the wire fence and willow branches in the center of this grouping, and are winding around almost invisible monofilament fishing line I've stretched between the cedar posts.
Very pretty, they look like they are made out of velvet.

I'm forever hooked on these blue morning glories - it's all your fault ! This series is great - especially when the sunflowers enter the picture ! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYellow and blue. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen, once upon a time. Yellow walls with blue and white Chinese porcelain plates.
The Swedish flag.
Portuguese tile.
Majolica.
Smurfette - sorry about this one. I ran out of ideas.
i love blue and white pottery. i have 4-5 pieces of splatterwear, a new england concoction I believe. and i have several really old blue and white "flow" dishware I think it's called. i have a few pieces that look like that same pattern but they're lavender and white instead of blue and white, also old. i have so much pottery and sets of dishes, complete and incomplete, and individual pieces, and broken pieces, lol.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some wonderful things done with broken plates and tile. Gaudi used them in his Parc Güell in Barcelona.

I've seen work like that before. There is someone in the East Village in NYC that covers the bases of street light stanchions and parking meters and areas of sidewalks that have broken away.
ReplyDeleteAn odd thing about the property around this house is the amount of plate shards we keep finding. You can find them when you dig for a garden, but they also seem to rise to the surface after every rainstorm. June and I both have collections of pretty white/blue and white/rose pottery shards, along with a few solid colors too. I can imagine why there are so many broken pieces of china everywhere, except that old houses often had their own dump sites for household wares, especially old farm houses.
A friend of mine gave me several cool pieces of tile she found down in the city,none matching, for me to break and use in pieces one day.
Casey I could see you making your signature plaids out of these tiles. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI COULD SEE THESE PICTURES HANGING ON MY LIVINGROOM WALL. JUST SO BEAUTIFUL. I LIKE EVERYTHING IN SOLID COLORS BUT THESE FLOWER PICTURES ARE JUST PERFECT. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE BLUE AND YELLOW TOGETHER. WHAT'S NO TO LOVE?I WONDER IF MORNING GLORIES WOULD GROW IN FLORIDA. I REALLY THINK IT WOULD BE TO HOT.
